How much lipitor affects milk absorption?



Lipitor is a brand name for the drug atorvastatin, which is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. According to the FDA label for Lipitor, there is no information on the effect of atorvastatin on milk absorption [3]. However, it is important to note that atorvastatin can interact with certain vitamins, including vitamin D, which is important for bone health and immune function [2]. The Mayo Clinic advises patients taking atorvastatin to talk to their healthcare provider about their vitamin D intake and potentially taking a vitamin D supplement [2].

In summary, there is no information available on the effect of atorvastatin on milk absorption [3]. However, patients taking atorvastatin should be aware of potential interactions with vitamins, including vitamin D, and should talk to their healthcare provider about their vitamin intake [2].
